It is very convenient to exchange tickets directly at the ticket counter, and the 10% off coupons and limited edition postcards are very valuable. There are additional discounts in conjunction with platform activities.

The night view of Tenguzan Cable Car is beautiful, but the viewing height is much lower than that of Mount Moiwa Cable Car. If you can only choose one, I recommend giving priority to Mount Moiwa.

I saw a lot of beautiful things, so exquisite, and it was a good feeling to see the exhibition with not many people. Unfortunately, I didn’t have enough time, so I bought a combo ticket and only saw one room. You can watch it for at least 2 hours in one room

It's easy to exchange tickets, and the fare is cheaper than buying it on site. It also comes with a postcard. Mount Tengu is really beautiful. You can get there by bus. There are quite a lot of buses. I will buy tickets from klook again if I have the chance.

The ticket exchange is fast and convenient. Surprisingly, there are also small squirrels and shrines. The scenery of Mount Tengu is also beautiful. There are also discounts on drinks. If I have the opportunity, I will go to Mount Tengu to see the night view.
